ARM Compiler 6

Based on the LLVM infrastructure, ARM Compiler 6 takes highly optimized ARM C libraries and pairs them with a modern, modular front end to give you the best of ARM and open source in one toolchain for bare-metal compilation.

From the start of your design process to the final touches, ARM® has created a comprehensive tools solution for ARMv8 which will help you get 64-bit devices and software to market as quickly as possible. Based on the tools portfolio which has helped our customers to ship billions of devices, ARM DS-5 Development Studio Ultimate Edition gives you everything you need for ARMv8 development.

Bring-up, debug and optimization are all made quicker with our industry-leading development environment. Code generation from our LLVM based ARM Compiler 6 toolchain gives exceptional performance and better overall program optimization, right from the start.

DS-5 Ultimate Edition supports all the architectural features new to ARMv8 processors, giving you bring-up tools and trace to deal with even the most complex SoC topologies. With support in DS-5 Debugger for virtualization, big.LITTLE systems and all the latest system IP from ARM, you can handle complex applications, making it easier than ever to write incredible software. Now, with the Juno development platform, you can also access ARMv8 hardware for 64-bit development.

Multicluster and big.LITTLE Debug

From the earliest modeling with an FVP, to RTL simulation using the VSTREAM virtual debug interface, to device development and bring-up using the DSTREAM debug and trace unit, DS-5 Ultimate Edition gives you the tools to cope with modern SoCs. Debugging big.LITTLE configurations of Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57 processors is as easy as debugging a multicore Cortex-A9, with an intuitive, synchronized interface.

For complex debug and trace configurations, we also provide DTSL scripting, allowing you to customize all aspects of your debug connection to gain maximum insight into the execution of your code.

Virtualization

Run more than one OS, with full hypervisor debug support in DS-5 Debugger making it easy to troubleshoot problems.

Keep Data Secure

DSTREAM with ARMv8 Devices

Pair DS-5 Debugger with a DSTREAM high performance debug and trace unit for powerful streaming trace collection to make ARMv8 system bring-up easier. Rapidly step through code and collect up to 4 GB of trace data in DSTREAM's buffer for a comprehensive insight into program execution.

ARM Compiler 6

As our next-generation compiler, ARM Compiler 6 takes the LLVM infrastructure and combines it with the ARM C libraries to give you a modern, flexible compiler toolchain that works out-of-the-box with DS-5 Ultimate Edition. The modular, well defined nature of LLVM makes collaboration on custom features easier than ever, and in addition, we provide migration tools to make it easy to build for ARMv8, whether you have used ARM Compiler 5, or GCC.

Develop, Analyze, Optimize

Streamline performance analyzer gives you an easy way to make your software as efficient as the hardware it's running on. Make the most of the speed of the ARMv8 architecture and the efficiency of ARM Compiler 6 by optimizing your applications, from overall system level performance down to individual lines of source code.

With better-than-ever support for OpenCL, you can make sure that resources are balanced right across your system, from high-end Mali GPU through to ARMv8 application processor.

Complete ARM System Models

Starting software development pre-silicon is essential to meet time-to-market requirements. The ARMv8 FVP modelling the latest ARM IP architectural features is included in DS-5 Ultimate Edition, giving you a complete system model to use as a development platform for ARMv8. For bare-metal, kernel and application development, this gives you a way to deliver software far in advance of silicon availability. To get started with Linux application development, you can also download the ARMv8 Foundation Platform free of charge.

ARM Fast Models for ARMv8 give you the highest level of flexibility and customization, allowing you to develop SoCs which combine ARM IP with your own. DS-5 Ultimate Edition offers excellent support, allowing you to use a single toolchain throughout your development process.

Juno
